At this point, it's so closely mirrored that it just has to be intentional, which probably means we're in for some sort of stupid twist like "Hah! Gotcha! You thought it was Mists 2.0 but thiiiis time Sylvanas is the one in the right! Take that!"

It doesn't matter how different will Sylvanas end be in comparison to Garrosh. Everything else is old. Recycled. Seen. I don't mind when they are recycling rigs and animations but I won't praise recycled storylines.

That assumes Blizzard's story writers have more intelligence than an amoeba. Then again they doubled down on stupid shit and did it again.

Blizz devs are actually aware they are copy pasting MoP, and seem to be intentionally doing so, so I kinda expect them to pull a prank this time. The fact she has been corrupted by the Horde champions opens the possibility of just breaking the dagger and have her survive (as something else than an Anduin lackey) somehow, although I'm aware this is very optimistic from my part. It will 96% still feel lame because genocide is genocide and thus she can't be expected to just walk away without further attempts on her life, nor without the Horde being held responsible from her actions, but fully repeating MoP but without the good stuff simply sucks too hard.

I've heard people suggesting that blizzard might push Sylvanas along the Kerrigan route. She'll use the horde to ascend the "death" food chain and once she ascends she'll drop the horde like a sack of bricks.

She won't be an end boss and she won't be part of a faction. Her roll will be more like that of Bwonsamdi.

There's still many ways the story could play out, all of it unconfirmed.

That being said: As a horde player i'm not to fussed either way. It will be good to remove Sylvanas from of the horde and forsaken. Either through ascension or coup.

I'm still waiting for the big twist, because they said Sylvanas would not be Garrosh.

Garrosh was the end boss and his own independent entity who mastered the heart of an old god and was on his way to winning the war before the mass rebellion in 5.3. Sylvanas is going to be fodder in the next expansion or a second to last boss in an N'zoth raid, immediately mind-controlled upon seeing an old god knife and was already losing despite commanding 'the loyalty of the people' and being opposed by like ten dudes that she doesn't just kill.

Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

I never understood how some people are okay to live with themselves after spouting out a complete lie in an attempt to make it a fact.

BFA, does not resemble MoP in so many ways.

Really?

Warchief goes off the deep end? check.
Said warchief does things to Horde members that make the other Horde leaders question their loyalties? Yep.
Open rebellion breaks out? Getting there.
Warchief starts messing with an old god related item for more power? Dagger instead of old god heart, close enough.

I don’t know, those are some pretty hefty similarities here, maybe a different ending, but so far it’s a close match.
